Bikeshedding is about things that really don't matter.
However, something being timed or async do matter. Describing something as async when it's not destroys the meaning of async and confuses what it really does. At the very least, describe it as "blocking async" so it's clear what it is.
Basically, call it what you will, but if you describe it as async, I expect it will be non-blocking because that's what async is by default.
